Director Mu Dunfu's "Fighting Snakes" filmed that year tells the story of smuggled people and snakes being wantonly bullied by snake heads, although the bow is a woman and the bird girl is killed, etc., (solemnly warn that it is absolutely not recommended to watch).

Because there are a lot of nude scenes in the movie, there are not many actors who are willing to act. Therefore, Director Mu Dunfu found a real human snake to participate, there is nothing wrong! It is the smugglers who have gone through these ordeals to star. Because they didn't have a job to make money, they agreed to Mu Dunfu's request to star.

And these real women snakes, participating in the filming of this movie, is like a nightmare revisited, which is actually a very inhumane act. When some women heard the siren, they still thought they were coming to catch themselves, and they were so frightened that they screamed, and they were very seriously damaged mentally.

After the release of this movie, director Mu Dunfu was also infamous as a beast director, thinking that he only knew how to exaggerate violent and bloody cesium, lawless and inhumane. And "Snake Fighting", a film full of nudity, violence, and abuse scenes, although it has achieved some results at the box office, because it has aroused unanimous condemnation from the whole Hong Kong public, it was only released in a hurry for two days and then ended.

Later, two days after the video was released, it was announced that it would be recalled in the unanimous condemnation of the public, and the unsold ones were also announced to be sealed. And the beast director Mou Dunfu also became infamous because of the criticism of the public, and even the Shaw Brothers couldn't protect him, so he had to hide him temporarily.

Director Mu Dunfu is a very individual person, seeing that Shaw Brothers can not satisfy his pursuit of art, he simply ran away, and then followed Ms. Xia Meng's Jade Bird Company to the mainland. THEN I FILMED A CULT TO THE EXTREME. Almost all Chinese people have heard of this famous "Black Sun 731".

The movie "Black Sun 731" is based on the 731 unit of the Japanese who committed a lot of evil crimes in the Northeast back then. In the form of a documentary, the various inhumane crimes they have committed are filmed. And after the release of this film. Because of the full scenes of killing, abuse, gore, and violence, it caused extreme discomfort among moviegoers. Director Mou Dunfu was also criticized for creating gimmicks and selling violence, and as a result, the second "Black Sun Nanjing Massacre" was banned in the mainland.

Mou Dunfu is a very controversial director, some people say that he just shows the cruel side of history to the audience; Some people also say that he deliberately exaggerates violence and uses violence and gore as a selling point. And this kind of prominence and bloody violence also relatively weakens the theme of the film, and fails to achieve the effect of reflecting on history.

After filming the "Black Sun" series. Mou Dunfu gradually disappeared from the Chinese film industry. Like the cult director Gui Zhihong, he is on the wrong side of the sword, full of evil spirits, and does not play cards according to common sense. Although this can allow them to gain attention in the shortest possible time, they still cannot become mainstream and are not recognized by mainstream society, so it is inevitable that they will disappear after the last day.

……

Compared with the Shaw Brothers' old-fashioned and faltering steps, Golden Harvest's performance last year was also not good, and it can be said that it is a pair of difficult brothers and sisters with Shaw Brothers.

Although last year, Golden Harvest poached Xu's senior Zeng Zhiwei. also filmed a "Buddha Has Fire" under Golden Harvest, telling the story of Shaolin disciples beating crazy Arhat boxing. But the box office is very average. This kind of young chivalrous warrior is diligent in learning martial arts. The story of the most unparallel chivalrous battle has been filmed to the point of rotten in recent years.

Cheng Long's "Serpentine Trickster", "Drunken Fist", Hong Jingbao's "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu", "Lin Shirong", Yuan Biao's "Loser", "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qianhua" and so on, are all movies with this routine. Hui's produces more than a dozen films of this theme every year, not to mention Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and even other film companies.

So since last year, this kind of kung fu boy learning kung fu and fighting chivalry to eliminate the evil tiger has begun to show a trend at the box office. Hong Jingbao's "Involuntarily" and "Tooth Throwing Tiger" all encountered Waterloo, not to mention Hong Jingbao's younger brother Zeng Zhiwei.

Zeng Zhiwei's ability to shoot kung fu films in the early Republic of China was all learned from Hong Jingbao, but he did not reach the situation where he was better than blue. So when Hong Jingbao failed to shoot a kung fu film in the early Republic of China, Zeng Zhiwei did not learn the lessons and made a kung fu film in the early Republic of China, but he also suffered a setback.

"Buddha has fire" invested more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the box office was only more than 1.5 million. The local box office of more than 1.5 million, plus the box office of more than 1 million sold ports, there is always less than 3 million. Golden Harvest and Zeng Zhiwei divided the accounts again and again, and after accounting to the worst, Zeng Zhiwei only earned 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Golden Harvest only earned 400,000 Hong Kong dollars after removing costs and fragmentary expenses. Both sides were not very satisfied with the result.

After Zeng Zhiwei invested in Golden Harvest, with the support of Zou Wenhuai, he opened his own film company, named "Weihe Company". "Wei He" takes a "He" character in Jiahe's name, and takes a "Wei" word in Zeng Zhiwei's name, so it is named.

The movie "Buddha Has Fire" is the pioneering work of Weihe Film Company, and Zeng Zhiwei naturally attaches great importance to it. I specially asked Hong Kong gold medal screenwriter Ni Jing to help write a script, and the pen fee was 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is quite an expensive script.

The actors used Liu Yong, the most famous Golden Harvest now, as the leading role, and Zeng Zhiwei was both a director and a supporting role in this movie. In order to save costs, he didn't pay himself a dime.

I thought that the movie would be a big hit at the box office after its release, and if I got a little more box office dividends, I would be able to cover my losses, but unfortunately it was only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars after the release. And at the end of the year, Zou Wenhuai didn't give him any red envelopes. It is equivalent to more than half a year in Golden Harvest, Zeng Zhiwei only earned the 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

200,000 Hong Kong dollars, although it sounds like a lot, but compared with Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Zhang Jian, Yuan Biao, etc., there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 red envelopes for the New Year, so I know that this money is indeed not much.

When Zeng Zhiwei was still in Xu's the year before last, he was both a director and a starring actor in making movies, and the box office of the movie himself could account for 6%, and the movie with a box office of 2 million could be divided into 120,000 yuan, and the salary and director fee were nearly 300,000. And that's not even counting the seven-person team's share and bonus.

And you don't have to worry about anything when making movies at Xu's, you just need to talk to the production department. They'll automatically get the people in place. How many actors are used. How many dragon and tiger warriors, how many cameras, how many lights, how many props...... It's ready in a few days, so why worry about it yourself?!

It's good now, on the surface, being the boss and earning money for himself, it seems to be quite beautiful. But in fact, all the burdens are shouldered by themselves. Looking for scripts, actors, martial artists, photography, lighting, art, editing...... You have to kick everything yourself. is as tired as a dog, but the box office results are not ideal, the half-year income is only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, not as much as Xu's year-end red envelope, how can this make Zeng Zhiwei satisfied? !

Also dissatisfied is Jiahe, when Zeng Zhiwei was poached, Jiahe also took a lot of effort. and then helped him set up his own company, which also made the employees of his own company a little dissatisfied. Why did outsiders open a company for him as soon as they came, but the old man in his own family didn't have this treatment?! Could it be that only foreign monks can chant scriptures, and their own monks are all eating white food? !

If Zeng Zhiwei immediately performs. The first film achieved a very high box office and showed its strength. Then the others will have nothing to say. It's like after Cheng Long invested in Golden Harvest, his first movie "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" set a box office record of 10 million for the first time, which surprised everyone, and naturally there was nothing to say.

But the movie "Buddha Has Fire", which has high hopes, has a box office of only a pitiful 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. In fact, this box office can also be done by other directors within Golden Harvest, and there is no need to share 30% of the profits. In comparison, Zeng Zhiwei took more, and it did not reflect the value it should have.

Jiahe also felt that he had spent so much manpower and material resources to dig Zeng Zhiwei from Xu's, but he was very dissatisfied with only achieving this result. Compared with Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, etc., who have always been relatively stable, Zeng Zhiwei looks like a parallel import.

The views of the outside world are also consistent with the top management of Golden Harvest, when Zeng Zhiwei ran away from Xu's, he attracted a lot of attention. At that time, many media began to look down on Xu's family, believing that Zeng Zhiwei's departure was the beginning of its transformation from prosperity to decline.

As a result, more than half a year has passed, and Xu's is still alive and well, and the box office has repeatedly achieved good results. Whether it is Zhang Jian's "Bad Life", Cheng Long's "Young Master Long", Gui Zhihong's "Yin Spirit", Chu Yuan's "White Jade Tiger", "The Sword of the Third Young Master", "Bright Moon Sword and Snow Night Annihilation", etc., have achieved a very good box office.

In comparison, Zeng Zhiwei's performance is undoubtedly much worse, and he does not show the ability that Xu's senior management should have. The first film was only a pitiful 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and it only ranked 23rd in the annual box office list, which is really not a good result.

This also made everyone suspect that Zeng Zhiwei was actually a parallel import, and secretly laughed at Jiahe for taking glass as a diamond, obviously being deceived by Zeng Zhiwei.

The ridicule of the outside world, the pressure of the unanimous internal rebound, and the fact that both sides were not satisfied with their gains also made an invisible rift between Zeng Zhiwei and Jiahe. The honeymoon period between Weihe and Jiahe ended, and began the married life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

……

In addition to Zeng Zhiwei's performance being somewhat unexpected, the performance of the Yuan brothers this year is also not good. The Yuan brothers' movies "Supreme Boxing King" and "Dysentery and Iron Bridge III", two kung fu films in the early Republic of China, were released last year, and the highest box office was only 2 million, and the lowest was only a little more than 1 million, which also suffered a box office waterloo.

And unlike Zeng Zhiwei, the Yuan brothers are descendants of Golden Harvest, and there is almost no additional income for filming except for receiving remuneration. Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others are not as generous as the Xu brothers, as long as the box office is a big hit, they will give red envelopes to everyone, so the Yuan brothers have had a hard time all year round.

Therefore, they also have the biggest opinion of Zeng Zhiwei, thinking that their brother is a starring actor, a director, a martial artist, and a martial artist, but the money he earns in a year is not as much as Zeng Zhiwei alone. How can this convince the Yuan brothers?!

However, although there were complaints in their hearts, they could only stay in Jiahe, and there was nowhere else to go. The Shaw Brothers are actually overcrowded now, and their own actors are still useless, so naturally they don't have the heart to collect the Yuan brothers. What's more, Master Liu Jialiang is now the pillar that the Shaw Brothers rely on, and the so-called peers are enemies, so naturally they will not deliberately introduce the Yuan brothers to touch Master Liu Jialiang's bad head.

And the Xu family also has the Hong family class now, as well as the family class that is slowly taking shape in recent years, and there are countless dragon and tiger martial artists, so naturally there is no need to introduce the Yuan family class. Therefore, although the Yuan brothers have superb kung fu and first-class martial arts instruction, no company is willing to use it, so they have to stay in Jiahe to work hard.

And Jiahe treated them so harshly, which also made the Yuan brothers faintly dissatisfied, so they naturally felt very uncomfortable in their hearts. (To be continued......)
